We leave this week!  Our new address is 7603 NE 60th St Vancouver, WA 98662.  Russell's old boss from when he was in high school contacted him maybe two months ago and asked him if he were looking for a job.  We actually were thinking about getting into something different and had started delineating what we wanted.  Don described a job that matched what we were looking for.  He made a formal offer a few weeks later and Russell accepted.  He will be the SR VP of Information Technologies for a company called Waste Technologies.  It is a plastics recycling company.  They have grown enough that they need an IT guy and Russell is it.  His duties will probably only keep him busy 30 hours a week once he has the programming they need done in a year or so, so at that point, they hope to start a software development company with him in charge.  Very exciting!  Russell will get to make a lot of decisions and have freedoms he definitely will enjoy.  He will also get to learn something about accounting, taxes, and bookkeeping because he will take those things over in the company as well.  We will be 2 hours from his mom, dad and sister, and about 4.5 hours from Othello.  We are going to enjoy that!  We are going to rent our first house ever and have a fenced yard and garage, so we will enjoy that too.  Sophie will be 2 next month and Kyle will be 1 in two months.
